Chapter 221 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 221

The Undertaker initiates a complex operation to force the Sword Marquess of Yudolguk into Rejuvenation, a state where an old master reverts to their prime. After a failed attempt where he merely recited the Marquess's past enlightenment text, the Undertaker escalates his tactics. He first performs the Mount Hua Sword Dance himself, demonstrating the movements and reciting the mantra, which sparks a momentary reaction from the Marquess. Unsatisfied, the Undertaker deploys 130 cursed CRT televisions surrounding the Marquess, broadcasting ghostly mimics of his own dance alongside distorted audio of the Heart Sutra and an MP3 of the mantra. This sensory overload bewilders the Marquess and silences the 360 captive observers. Next, the Undertaker brings in Lee Ha-yul and Oh Dok-seo. Ha-yul attaches puppet strings to the Marquess’s joints, forcing him to perform the difficult Sword Dance mechanically while Dok-seo raps the enlightenment mantra over a cursed microphone and synthesized beat. Sim Ah-ryeon stands by, continuously healing the Marquess’s straining body to prevent permanent injury, adding a layer of cruel care to the psychological warfare. The spectacle drives the captives into a state of terrified awe, stripping away their previous arrogance. As the dance concludes, a synthetic scent of plum blossoms emanates from the Marquess, signaling he is on the brink of enlightenment but not quite there. To push him over the edge, the Undertaker shows him a fake SG Net post on his smartphone. The post claims to transport the user to another world where they become a Sword God, a trap designed to trigger 'Hero Syndrome' and provide the final emotional catalyst for the Rebirth-mon transformation. The Marquess clicks the link, triggering a blinding light and the scent of true plum blossoms. His body transforms from a wrinkled old man into a gray-haired youth, completing the Rejuvenation. The sudden display of impossible power causes the 360 captives, who were slanderous spirits, to lose their composure, scream in existential despair, and flee their bodies into the forest. The mission is a success. In the aftermath, the newly rejuvenated Sword Marquess acknowledges the effort but immediately declares his desire to beat the Undertaker, a reaction the Undertaker anticipated.
